Bella Jones, a young lady of Del,
OF the fashions was not very well,
So a handkerchief red
she wrapped round her head,
And this rig to the ball did Miss Bel.
Hetty Harkins, of Hartford, Ct,
Was amazingly proud of her pit,
Which pride to express,
She held up her dress,
Aud thus fine figure did hit.

The Strongest Man on Earth.

There is a man on the Darson River,
below Dayton, named Angelo Cordella,
who claims to be the strongest man in the
world. lie is an Italian, aged twenty
eight, and stands five feet ten inches.
weighing 1893 pounds His strength was
born with him, for he had no athletic
training He differs from other men
chiefly in the osseous structure Although
not IF unusual size, his spinal column is
much beyond the ordinary width. and his
bones and joints are made on similarly
large and generous scale. He has lifted
a man of 200 pounds with the middle
finger of his right hand. The man stood
with one foot on the floor, his arms out
stretched, his hands grasped by two per
sons to balance his body C0rdella then
stopped and placed the third finger of his
right hand under the mans foot, and,
with scarcely any prcceptible effort, raised
him to the height of four feet and de-
posted him on table ncGr at hand. Once
two powerful men waylaid CorClella, with
intent to thrash him, but he seized one in
each hand and hammered them together
until life was nearly knocked out &c

Stanton and the President.

We quote the following anccdotc from
''RecOllections Of Secretary Stanton, by
clerk of the War Department, in the
Century: When Mr. Stanley, of North
Carolina, was appointed Military Gov
ernor of his State, the Secretary of War
caused to be filled out one Of the blank
forms used for notifying military nomi-
nees Of their appointment to office by the
President, and when he had signed it and
caused the seal of the Department of War
to be attached to it, he concluded that it
would be well to have the sign manual of
the President affixed to the instrument.
He sent the commission to the White
House, with the request that the Presi-
dent would sign and return it immedi-
ately. Mr. Lincoln took the document
and read it carefully, and then began
turning and twisting it about, as though
in search of something At last he handed
it to the bearer and said, ironically:
did Mr.. Stanton say where was to
put my signaturei'
No, sir, replied the astonished
clerk.
Can You tell me, asked the Presi-
dent, Whereabouts on this paper am to
put my signaturer The clerk looked at
the commission and saw the ample sigma
ture of Mr.. Stanton Immediately at the
foot of the body of the instrument, with
the countersignature of the Adjutant-
General to the left He also sew a neat,
snug-looking white space beneath the
sign-manual of the Secretary of War
which Mr.. Lincoln might have occupied
to advantage had he seen fit, but the clerk
was polite and replied: 4 don't see any
place provided for your signature, Mr..
President, and was proceeding to explain
how the omission obviously came about
when the President interrupted him and
said in dignificd tone: Take the paper
back to the Secretary Of War, with my
compliments, and say that the President
will promptly sign any proper commission
that may be sent to him for Governor
Stanley or anybody else"

An Original Proposal"

One of the city officials, whose office is
on the second floor of the City Hall, is a
very cautious man. They say that when
he proposed to a young lady something
over year ago he went at it in an orig
inal manner. They were sitting in the
parlOr, and Mr.. S. began as follows:
miss - do look like an ape?'
why, Mr.. s., what a question: OF
course you don't"
"All right. Do you take me for a
jackassJ"
"a jackass? What do you ask that
for! Of course don't"
every well. You don't consider me
a harum-scarum good-for-nothing, do
you2"
why, l never thought of such a
thing. Why, Mr.. s., what put such a
notion into your headl"
"Well, Miss -, inasmuch as YOU
find me devoid of these Objectionable pc
culiarities, have come to the conclusion
that you feel an interest in me, and !
want to ask you to become my wife"
They were married. Pitts5urg Press.
